As Republicans across the country try to restrict voting rights, Democrats are doing everything we can to encourage full participation in our democracy. That’s what the #ForThePeople Act is all about—making sure every American is able to have a say in our nation’s future. https://t.co/AkxyLwJdtD — PolitiTweet.org

If their intent is to confirm leaders with the experience necessary to restore independence and integrity to DOJ, Senators will push for swift confirmation. — PolitiTweet.org

I worked hard to secure money in the American Rescue Plan for the National Health Service Corps. @PattyMurray & I are urging the Biden Admin. to ensure this historic funding helps address health care disparities & workforce shortages. https://t.co/UJLbd9JirZ — PolitiTweet.org

.@NIH research funding supported nearly 20K jobs & generated $3.4B in new economic activity for Illinois in fiscal year 2020. All the more reason for Congress to double down on medical research funding and pass my American Cures Act. https://t.co/xsUJWh14ln — PolitiTweet.org

Tomorrow, amid Women's History Month, the Senate Judiciary Committee will vote on the nominations of two exceptionally qualified women to serve in top leadership positions at DOJ: Lisa Monaco and Vanita Gupta. ICYMI: https://t.co/h7WRv0OsxO — PolitiTweet.org

Enjoyed meeting with the Army Corps of Engineers Chicago District Commander today to discuss several Chicago area water infrastructure projects, including expanding the Chicago shoreline project. We both agree that now is the time is now to address the rising lake levels. — PolitiTweet.org

I was pleased to join @ILAttyGeneral and @NatlAssnAttysGn today to discuss domestic terrorism, the 1/6 Capitol attack, and a number of pressing issues facing our communities. I appreciate the opportunity to share views and partner with State AGs. — PolitiTweet.org

Today I am introducing two bills to restore America’s commitment to scientific and biomedical research. The American Cures Act and the American Innovation Act provide the robust funding needed to ensure America leads the world in breakthrough discoveries. https://t.co/2dcXO9Pjdz — PolitiTweet.org

Glad to see the IRS will automatically issue tax refunds for unemployment claimants who have already filed their 2020 tax returns. This will be a huge help for unemployed Americans who are eligible for the tax exclusion included in the American Rescue Plan. — PolitiTweet.org

For Sen. McConnell to say the filibuster has no racial history is to ignore the obvious. He was an intern on Capitol Hill in the 60s when it was used to block civil rights legislation. Just one of many such examples. https://t.co/bF7aIok7lG — PolitiTweet.org

Our nation is built on some fundamental ideas—like fairness. But there are millions of women across the U.S. today who are doing the same job as men & being paid less. On #EqualPayDay, I stand with women across the country in calling for equal pay for equal work. https://t.co/IRTaXccujb — PolitiTweet.org

This is the right decision. I applaud the Biden Administration’s continued efforts to make sure every American has access to health care. — PolitiTweet.org

S.1 would be the most significant package of anti-corruption reforms Congress has considered in a generation, weeding out dark money and putting the power back in the hands of those it serves. The American people deserve a government of, by, and #ForThePeople. https://t.co/4DxszmaFCJ — PolitiTweet.org

Our system of financing political campaigns is broken. It elevates the voices of wealthy donors and special interests and ignores the will of the people. The For the People Act will fix this system and help put power back where it belongs—in the hands of American voters. https://t.co/YfauFcAqiR — PolitiTweet.org

People deserve to know basic information about those who sell them consumer products online. The INFORM Consumers Act will help promote responsible marketplace behavior, discourage shadowy sales practices, and protect consumers. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s been 11 years since @BarackObama signed the Affordable Care Act into law. I was proud of the ACA then and I remain proud of it today—millions of Americans have health care because of this bill. But the fight for universal coverage is far from over. We must keep pushing. https://t.co/FwOaqRNLU7 — PolitiTweet.org
